Homemade oatcakes are baked cereal foods made mainly from oats. The figures here describe a homemade recipe rather than a branded product. Per 100g, they provide 61g of carbohydrate, 16g of fat, 6.8g of fibre and 9.5g of protein. Carbohydrate and fat are the main sources of energy in this food.

Fibre helps support normal bowel function, while protein is needed for the growth and repair of body tissues. These oatcakes also contain saturated fat and salt, which are worth noting for people monitoring their intake. The amounts can vary according to the ingredients used in a homemade recipe.
